I want you to take this match
keep it close
and when the time comes
burn down everything in your path
it's all wicker to your flame
and if you leave them a single memory
they will never remember your name
carve yourself a giant
from the remnants
a diety to end all
assure no descendants ascend
from the ashes
as cobblestone falls
as steel and bones clash
when all hope is gone
it's you and that match.

Sometimes I swear
that I bleed cement
because those stains
just won't go away
sometimes I wonder
if I'll regret it
but the scars won't show up
for a few days
but why live for the future
when we could die for today?

we're gonna regret it anyway
so why bother to explain
our rationality
our statement
our mentalities
this pavement that speak our names
will mark the heads
upon our graves
but it will all just move right on
while these haunted sidewalks speak


so we'll build a sidewalk
with everything we bleed
then we'll walk down the middle of the street
and it would be nice
if you join me tonight
because together
we're all we need
no, it won't last forever
but that doesn't matter

So hey there gypsy
don't you miss me
It'll all be the same
when you're back
close your eyes
only when you're able
may your heartbeat rest
upon the operating table
cause no one can save us now
not that we bothered asking
not that we know how.

I'd pull every ******* tooth out of my head
if it would solve anything at all
but I would just bleed
and hurt more than I do
it wouldn't stop the any of the withdrawls
I hereby declare war
on anything I've ever loved
Which isn't a lot
because I still haven't found
that much worth speaking of
so I'll just sit in my pile of teeth and blood
and try to remember
where these feeling come from

If I could follow the roots
all the way to the source of the problem
then what's the point of existing?
if it's all so simple so solve them
if I knew who made me feel like this
I would shake their hand and kiss their ring
because that's the person that taught me how to sing
how to write
how to live
what to die for
though I may never find
the origin of this sickness
that's allright
because that one person doesn't exist
yet I hate the one
that taught me to resist

whoever you are
one day you'll be the death of me
and wherever you are
I hope you're safe and breathing
because I'll be the one
to hear your last breath leaving
and on that day
you'll be buried
with all the burdons
that you've carried
every storm you've braved
will be right with you in that grave
because no one really remembers the dead anyway

bless your heart
and **** your actions
free your thoughts
don't fear reaction
live like you died yesterday
not that it matters anyway
because we'll all be dead soon too.

The wires sprouting from my chest
they protect my heart
like it's covered by a kevlar vest
and they run
from my core
all the way down to my feet
and back up again
to wrap me in a subtle need
for solitude and solidarity
it's all over
there's nothing left to see
I self-destructed
and pulled myself together
one too many times it seems
because something is missing
something is not as it should be

So let's not focus on the past
when we've got this bright future
spitting in our faces
and what's left to love?
I find nothing worth speaking of
until we learn to restore our trust
we speak only lies
and we breathe only dust
and we're weakened by time
until our figures disgust ourselves
can we escape this hell?
can we ever help?
I'm trying to forget
everything that I've felt
and just start clean
but we fiend for that opposition
we all wanna see their rendition of us
to peek at their position
in this race to turn to rust

But the sun will rise again
and someday we'll all be free from ourselves
I just hope we're here
to find out if it happens
I just hope we're here
to find out if it works
caus'e that's when we'll build our plan of action
constructed from our blood, sweat, tears
the dirt from our hands over the years
I hope one day
we forget to feed our fears

so you're drowning
swimming in saliva
to self richeous
to let anybody help ya
you'll never put your hand out
for fear it'll get slapped down
so the drain ***** you down a little bit more
so the trumpets are sounding
with the war drums surrounding
and when I think about it now
I'm glad you're drowning

so let it overtake you
let the floods consume you
just try to get a clear view
of the horizon before it falls
so just forsake truth
for the sake of being true
and rest assured
that no one will miss you

wipe that black spot
clear off of the map
**** it all
never look back
I swear to god
you'll just lose track
of everything you've ever had
and there's no guilt
I won't feel bad
cause you're dying anyway
fading every day
wasting away
Sorry, but I have nothing left to say

You're the reason
I'm not breathin'
alone again
chainsmoking this evening away
all I need is nicotine
caffiene
and self-loathing
to make-believe I'm fine
the drugs make me jittery
and the hatred is comforting
I know **** well
the answer's in the roots
this is about me
but this is about you

So don't call me to check up
it just kills me a little more
and if you're so ******* worried
why didn't you say something before?
I don't need your sympathy
to wake up on a floor I don't recognize
you call it addiction
I call it coping
passing out each night
hoping it ends before I rise
I pray to god
you never hear these words
because you'll laugh
and nothing's ever hurt me more than that.

Let's leave
right now
and never tell a soul
pack some water
and a shovel
let's dig some new plot holes
'cause who would really miss us?
who would even notice?
you're down to take a risk I trust
to put this **** in focus
so let's leave tonight
before the light creeps past the blinds
before the world wakes up to find
that we're gone
that we're gone
we'll get new names
to replace the old ones
'cause I don't want a thing to hold on to
and it can only get better
there's nothing here for you
let's leave right now

Let's go
we're done
we're gone
so long

let's go
life won't wait
and if we miss the train
we're gonna sink where we stand
and i can't do that
anymore than you can.
